The Sage’s Daughter
Once upon a time there lived a sage on
the banks of a river. He and his wife did
not have any children. One day when the
sage was praying in the middle of the
river, an eagle happened to pass by and
the eagle dropped a female mouse in the
hands of the sage. The sage found the
mouse in his hands on opening his eyes,
and took it home to his wife.
On reaching home, he talked to his wife
about the mouse and they decided to
convert the mouse into a young baby
girl. The sage and his wife began to take
care of the girl child and brought her up
as their daughter. The child grew day by
day to a beautiful maiden by the age of
sixteen. At this age, the sage decided to
find a match for the girl. He and his wife
decided that the Sun God would be an
ideal match for their girl.
So the sage prayed for the Sun God to
appear, and once the sun god appeared
asked him to marry his daughter. But his
daughter said, "Sorry! I cannot marry
the sun god because he is very intense
and I will be reduced to ashes in his heat
and light.". The sage was displeased and
asked the sun god to suggest a possible
groom. The sun god suggested the name
of the Lord of the clouds. For, the cloud
can easily stop the rays of the sun.
The sage then prayed for the lord of the
clouds and once he appeared him took
him to his daughter. The daughter once
again decided not accept him as his
groom. She said, " I do not want to
marry a person as dark as him.
Moreover, I am afraid of the thunder he
produces". The sage was dejected once
again and asked the lord of clouds for a
suitable groom. The lord of clouds
suggested, " Why don't you try the lord
of wind, for he can easily blow me
away".

The sage then prayed for the lord of the
wind. On the appearance of the wind-
god, he took him to his daughter. His
daughter rejected the groom saying that
she cannot marry such a feeble person
like the wind god who is always on the
move. Dejected once again the sage
asked the wind-god for a suggestion.
The wind-god suggested the lord of the
mountain which was rock solid and
stopped the wind easily. So the sage
then went to the mountain lord and
requested him to marry his daughter.
But the daughter once again rejected the
mountain lord saying that he was too
cold-hearted for her to marry and
requested the sage to find somebody
softer. The mountain god then suggested
a mouse to him, because the mouse is
soft and yet can easily make holes in the
mountain.
This time the daughter was happy and
agreed to marrying a he-mouse. So the
sage said, "Look at what the destiny had
to offer you. You started as a mouse,
and were destined to marry a mouse in
the end. So be it". He then converted her
back to a she-mouse and got her
married to a he-mouse.
Is sage tun mohld ei windswamen.
Appariht is windsdiv, is duxit iom ad sien

Estu it”. Is tun convers iam tsay do un
